This is a bonkers take. After character creation, almost every single upgrade in Starfield is “+10% pistol damage” “+10kg carry weight” “-5% O2 consumption” “+10% persuasion chance”. Comparatively, the skill tree in AC: Valhalla was a fucking design masterclass.

wow yeah crazy seeing someone talk about god in this world where we have banned all the churches and the bibles and what the fuck are you talking about, dude? Christians have the most humongous persecution syndrome.

God and Jesus should’ve told him ahead of time to rethink this stupid plan. 

Have to say, I agree that dark mode should be the default setting for almost all apps and websites.

Read my post again. As currently written, the headline is describing SAG-AFTRA’s demands, the ones that were rejected, as “beyond reasonable.” That implies that they were the ones asking for ridiculous things when in fact they were just asking to be treated like human beings. It’s AMPTP’s demands that were…

SAG-AFTRA’s Rejected Contract Demands Seem Beyond Reasonable

I think you’ll find if you do some introspection that you’re actually racist and mad about Phillipa. 

With all that written, there is something I need to vent about this article and I apologize already advance about some of the things I am about to state.

Old people log off. Fucking seriously I’ve never seen such a group of curmudgeonly sons of bitches in my life.

Yes, but I have noticed Thomas’s near-fixation on AI and establishing certain narratives(go ahead and look at his articles and “conversation” articles)when we already know the intention. He really comes off as a NYT op-ed writer.

This “Giz writer’s” obsession with AI is certainly interesting...

Didn’t expect to find a gambling gatekeeper here. Are you saying a slot machine wouldn’t be “gambling” as long as it gave you at least 1c return each spin? Better not let the machine companies know this loophole to avoid gambling laws.

Aren’t many of the biggest “non-casual” games also f2p? Fortnite, Apex, etc.

Man, having kids sounds horrible

Do you prefer the much lauded Superman II which featured the same villain? In that movie, Superman secretly depowers Zod and then crushes his hand and murders him anyway.

That wasn’t my point, at all. My point is people will embrace these people, and allow them among their circle regardless of their bigotry.

As much as one may despise Bobby Kooties, only way it’s OK for this deal to go through is if MS is forever barred from making games exclusive to any specific platform(s), and especially their own.

No, it’s unfortunately Sony’s obsession with Call of Duty that tipping the scales. There is far more wrong with this merger than Call of Duty but Sony won’t shut up about it.

Wait, are you trying to tell us that PHIL SPENCER MIGHT LIE TO US?

“This deal was not done to take games away from another playerbase like that,” Spencer said. “Nowhere in the documentation that we put together was: ‘How do we keep other players from playing these games?’ We want more people to be able to play games, not fewer people to be able to go play games.”
